Risk Data Governance

The firm is investing significantly to enhance data quality and data classification (i.e., data governance) across the firm. We have a multi-year book of work to do so which is sponsored by the Board. Help promote the data quality and data classification frameworks and their adoption within the Risk Division to help the division achieve compliance with the newly created policies and procedures for data quality and classification. Provide guidance and training on how to plan implementation of requirements set forth by the policies. Work with the technical team responsible for developing the data governance platform and tool set. Participate in working groups to develop programs to improve data governance. Be instrumental in monitoring the compliance and progress within the Risk division, and work to make sure the data governance program goals are accomplished. Provide thought leadership to further develop processes, and firmwide roles and responsibilities, to help the Risk Division meet the expectations of its data governance policies.
